Matthew's Dinosaur Stuff
This piece of writing is about dinosaurs.
 DINOSAUR WORLDS
The world has not always looked the way it does today continents are constantly moving, and this very gradually changes the appearance of the Earth.
The Triassic, Jurassic and cretaceous worlds all looked very different from one another. Mountains grew up; erosion wore land away, and plants and animals, including the dinosaurs, appeared and disappeared.

CHANGING EARTH
The Earth’s crust [outer layer] is made up of massive plates, which move on the semi-molten rock underneath.
 

Now here’s my favourite poem.
 

 TYRANOSAURUS REX
Two daft little arms like toasting forks,
enough skin to make coats for ten men.
 As dirty as pitch
[He slept rough in a ditch],
and the feet from a monstrous hen.
A bit of a freak- part beast, part bird.
Would you dare stick your tongue out at him?
He’s a mean dinosaur
with a mouth as wide as a door
and teeth that stand up dagger slim.
Across the mud flats he belts in top gear;
a rogue light-house with blood on his brain.
Better kneel down and pray for all those in his way;
he’ll grind bones again and again.
 
With my school project I think I’ve worked very hard .
And I think it was a very successful project on dinosaurs.
